Compression stockings after tummy tuck

Just had an email back from my surgeon, he’s not too concerned about the swelling after tummy tuck, he is confident it is damage to the lymph channels from the tummy tuck surgery and that some are functioning because it is draining with elevation and rest. He’s suggested full length compression stockings from a physio as the compression pants won’t help. So will go see how they’ll cost and decide whether I’ll use them or just ride it out
